A Day at the Beach

He had always loved the beach.Sitting by ocean's edge, feeling the sun upon his skin, splashing into the water, riding the waves. And buying ice cream about mid-day from the pony-tailed man yelling

"Eskimo Pies! Get your Eskimo Pies,"

and looking at all the pretty girls in their skimpy bikinis, always getting progressively younger. Well, not much he could do about that.Damn near perfect. Each and every time.Even the walk itself over the boardwalk bridge to the vast expanse of seemingly endless sand before him normally filled him with anticipation and delight. Unfortunately, today he was playing golf. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Picture prompt above, story below, 1oo words .... Yep, I finally hit the exact mark for prescribed words for my contribution to the Fabulous Friday Fictioneers and Magical Mystery Tour for this, the fourth week of January, 2013.Roll up for the Friday Fictioneers, Step Right This Way to the other contributors by clicking the link above. And see you at the beach!

Dear Perry, Anyone who uses Beatles lyrics in anyway, shape or form is all right in my book. I enjoyed your story, too. He must've been playing golf with his boss to make it more important than going to the beach. shalom,Rochelle

Hi Perry,I see you were the first one to arrive at the party. You must be a fast typist! Your story is a wistful description of a perfect day at the beach. Maybe the golfer will end up in a few sand traps! Ron

Thanks! Warm is a losing battle around here these days. I'm lucky that the golf courses I play don't have terribly many sand traps, though I'd rather be in the sand than have to hit over water. I can feel his pain..:)

About Me

Perry Block has lived a life of which most others can only dream. Although we don't know who these "most others" might be, it's clear their dreams have to be about as exciting as being President of the Justin Bieber Fan Club at the Abe Vigoda Memorial Home for Very, Very Old Jews.
In his one action-packed lifetime, Perry has been a rugged, briny sea-faring guy; a hunky dude given to slamming his right fist into his left palm while exclaiming "caution be damned, innocent lives are at stake!"(although frankly he has always missed his left palm); and a world class professional yodeler known for a killer "YO-DEL" but a generally undistinguished "LAY-HE-HOO!" He has succeeded in virtually every sphere of human endeavor, but failed miserably in the rectangular and triangular ones.
In his private life, Perry spends most of his time fantasizing he has a private life. He is the proud father of Brian Block, age 29, and Brandon Block, who's 23. He regrets not having more children so he could have alliterated their names as well.
As he reaches those golden Nouveau Old years, Perry says that he has no regrets. How could he? He's forgotten them all.
